How to read the Class Details Panel

Class Details
Once you have found the class you are seeking, click on the title of the class to open the Class Details panel.
Instructional Method
This first tab also lists the instructional method for the course. The exact times and days will be listed on the Instructor/Meeting Times tab.
Important Dates
This tab includes when the class begins, the last day to drop, the last day to withdraw, and the census date for the term. Other important dates for the term can be found on the Academic and Registration Calendar.
Bookstore/Other Links
This tab includes links to the WSU Bookstore, a link to past Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) scores (log in required), and any texts that might be available early through the First Day Inclusive Access program.
Course Description
The Course Description includes text from the Academic Bulletin, which is the WSU course catalog: bulletins.wayne.edu
Attributes
If a section meets a specific general education requirement or has been reserved for a specific cohort, that information is listed on this tab.
Restrictions
This is different from courses that need to be taken prior to this class (Prerequisites) or courses taken at the same time (Corequisites).
Restrictions are more concerned with whether you are an Undergraduate (UG) or Graduate (GR) student, or if you have earned enough credit to be considered a Junior or Senior student. Restrictions can also be used to limit registraiton to specific majors, programs, colleges, and/or departments.
This is also where you will find an indication if Department Approval is required, which may mean you have to be part of a program to register for this section.
Instructor/Meeting Times
Clicking on the name of the instructor will display their WSU AccessID email.
For this example, COM 1010, CRN 20939 is a Hybrid section, one that requires both an in-person Class, and an Online component. You will need to make sure both parts fit in your schedule.

Enrollment
The Enrollment tab tells you how many seats are available in a section and whether or not there is a waitlist available. Not all sections will have a waitlist, and waitlisting is only available during Priority Registration. After the first day of class for the term, waitlisting ends, even if the Class Details panel shows waitlist seats available.
Corequisites
Corequisites are classes that must be taken at the same time, or the registration will not be processed. You will need Course References Numbers (CRNs) for both classes. For this example, BIO 1510 is a lecture class and it requires you to also register for the BIO 1511 lab.
Prerequisites
The Prerequisites tab lists the requirements to qualify to take a class. You may find it easier to read the Academic Bulletin entry.
Mutual Exclusion
Info coming soon!
Cross Listed Courses
Cross listed courses meet at in the same location at the same time and day, with a portion of the seats reserved for each of the departments offering the course. Be sure to check with your academic advisor if there is a preferred version for your major.
Linked Sections
Some classes, such as BIO 2600 below, require both a lecture and a discussion or lab section. You will need to include both CRNs in your Register for Classes summary in order to register for the class.
Fees
CMF = course material fees. This is an additional charge added to the tuition of the class to cover materials used in the course.
